Look on the Naked Neck/Turken thread.
@kassandra & @Kev . Both have naked chickens and neatly naked chickens. Kassandra also have I'm not sure if they're totally FM or almost FM nakeds too. I don't think they have Banty though.

SQUEE! There are black ones!

Those are.......interesting.... <_<

My hubby likes them, though they probably wouldn't do well in Eastern WA either. unless I made them sweaters.... and sunscreen in the summer....

I like strange too. I was hoping there were some that were black so they look like a plucked Ayam Cemani

Sunscreen & shades?
Then they'd look like:

Lol, I think ayam cemanis look pretty good with feathers:

But, I am working on a naked neck project with them too, because why not? So far I have one half ayam cemani naked neck cockerel. I'm probably going to put him in a breeding pen in the spring with some culls from my cemani flock and see what I get.

They do!! I just found out about them a couple of months ago & now I want one! I've been telling everyone about how wicked beautiful these guys look!

I wish they came in banty sized

I love the fibro nakeds. I was thinking to cross in to Silkies to get friendly little fibro scaleless, but I really don't like vaulted skulls and would like that even less on a naked chicken so I've considered spending the money on the LF fibros, hence my interest in Svart Honas.. but I don't fancy getting flayed alive for using such rare birds for a personal project

I wouldn't recommend them to anyone with a harsh winter. Pork is lucky, they're going to be a house chicken! Even in our mild winters I wouldn't leave the coop unheated if they were out there though. They radiate heat, I imagine if they could survive it, the expense in feed to keep that furnace burning would be high, and their extremities would probably be extra prone to frostbite. Those poor little dinosaur hands wing nubbins would be lost in a trice.


Here's some better photos! Pork, Marshmallow, Tugboat, and two without a name. The last egg hasn't pipped so waiting 'til Monday, but I bet the hatch is over.
